My husband and I and our 25mth old son loved staying at this gorgeous cottage set in a beautiful garden. The cottage is in a quiet spot just by the famous Shotover River, a stones throw from the Historic Shotover Bridge. It is very peaceful - so much more relaxing than being in the busy madness of tourists in Queenstown.... More

I and my wife stayed there for 4 nights this Christmas. The place is so well decorated and furnished tastefully. Glenys n Kevin were very caring and attentive. You do not want to miss the homemade bread. If you like watching stars, do not mind to grab a blanket and watch them in front of the house. You will see... More

Our 2 kids loved staying in this lovely cottage where like others we had the whole house to ourselves, though we only used the 2 rooms we booked. Interesting period furnishings and nice touches like water carafes and glasses beside the beds. A famous dog - Buckley, who appears on the cover of a book about B&B dogs - and... More

We are three French seniors. Two nights in The Ferry. Whole house for ourselves, and plenty of wood in front of the cheminee. Much too short stay to appreciate the place. Glenis and Kevin did as much as they could for us: very warm welcome, delicious breakfast, fishing advices... What to say? Just perfect! Too bad this fantastic place is... More

We wanted to give our daughter and granddaughters some respite from earthquake damage in Christchurch. We had been before and remembered The Ferry for the hospitality. We had the whole house to ourselves and arrived to a very warm welcome and a wonderful log fire. Glenys and Kevin were excellent and friendly hosts. We were all able to relax and... More

Bringing your daughter and grand-daughters this time made it very special and we really hope to see you again on one of your future visits. Maybe next time your son in law will be able to come too.... More

We arrived after the historic snow storm and the Ferry B&B looked beautiful in the snow, with amazing views of the river and historic bridge. Glenys and Kevin were very welcoming and very helpful and knowledgeable of the local area, giving us advice on where to go and what to see. Glenys helped book our Jet Boat trip - which... More

Warm, comfortable and with very welcoming hosts (even the four-legged kind!) We loved every minute of our stay here. We had a four year old with us and his comment sums it all up - "I loved being in the ferry house - it was AWESOME'. Oh yeah - and he named his lego dog Buckely - after Glenys and... More

Exceptionally walm welcome from the hosts and the log fire was sure welcome as well. The hosts were great with the children who had plenty to do like tagging along taking the dog for a walk, playing the board games, watching DVDs. The shotover river is beautiful, the river and historic bridge just meters away. The history is seen in... More
